Ok so now im addicted. Haha. I have a 2001 ext. cab short bed, 5 spd with bout 140k on it. Its just going to be a street runner no sled pulling or heavy towing (maybe 1 or 2 ton a couple times a winter). So far i have an intake, smarty, mbrp 5" exhaust, and isspro gauges fp, boost, egt. I know im going to need a clutch and fuel system, im thinking bout going with airdog 150 and a southbend clutch. But now im looking for some other ideas. It will be a while till i can do osme of these just looking to see what everyone has to say about injectors and turbo upgrades. i would like to get up around 600hp or more haha for now its a daily driver, im just looking to turn heads. Thanks ya'll

 

If you sell the smarty and get a edge comp, or a quadzilla adrenaline you will make more power than the smarty is putting out. 600hp is not a easy task with the vp44. I have compounds and 200hp sticking on mine and make 570. For the clutch you want a good southbend dd, the airdog 150 would be good too. I would say do a set of compounds on to keep it street driveable without a ton of smoke and a good set of 250hp injectors.

 

is it possible to stack with the smarty? ive heard guys talking about it around my place but not really sure about it

 

The only trucks that really see an improvement with that stack is the Auto Trucks. Get an Edge Comp or Quadzilla Adrenaline.

 

Most autos I have seen don't get much improvement from that stack either. I would buy an edge drag comp since you already have gauges, great simple straight forward box that has been producing good reliable power for a while. I've had mine for 4 trouble free years now. I would also recommend going with compounds as well. probably a mach 6 or 7 injector. Or scheid's depending on your opinion of smoke.

I've had no problem making 600 on a VP-44 truck. With the right parts 550-640 is an easy to reach goal with a single charger.

 

well smoke is not a problem for me haha i like it. so im going to sell the smarty and go with edge comp........im leaning towards the compounds as Luke and sstockton stated.

 

more air flow and fuel econ get a new intake elbow 3 to 4 hundred bucks depending on the manifold.
